How can I send Image and Data together?

I love this post... Helped me alot in time of need.

Where should we place the httpmime-4.1.1.jar file?

My uri I got from onActivityResult is
content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A7711

The snippet cursor.getString(column_index); returns null value in my case.

Please consider posting the php script for the beginners.
Thanks in advance.

please share PHP Script .

Thanks
